If a commuter train averages 62 miles per hour between stops that are 18 miles apart, about how many minutes does it take the train to travel the distance between the two stops?

First find what percent 18 miles is of 62 miles (62 divided by 18) which is 3.4444 If 18 miles is 3.444 x smaller than 62 miles per hour and we know one hour is 60 minutes the time it takes to get the 18 miles between stops would be 60 minutes divided by 3.4444. The answer is 17.41957961 minutes (round how you see fit)
